I always had to keep improving my skills in order to remain competitive and keep winning.

My father was an all-American football player.

I don't really see the hurdles. I sense them like a memory.

I was always a mean and lean athlete - not tall - not large.

You have to have already convinced yourself that you are going to win no matter what other influences are.

I wanted to go to medical school. But, I never got a college scholarship.

Stretching was a major part of my preparation.
